MoveFile failed: code 5 HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

Hi. I'm in desperate need of some help.

Every time I try to install Audacity I click on the agreements and everything, but when it starts to install, I get this:

An error occurred while trying to rename a file in the direction directory
MoveFile failed: code 5
Access is denied.


I'm the administrator and the only person who uses this laptop so I'm at a loss as to why it's not working!

If you are using Vista, try the latest Audacity 1.3, but read this first before attempting to install: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php? ... s_Vista_OS
